Kristin Chenoweth headlines Woman to Woman luncheon From staff reports Jewish Family Services will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its Woman to Woman Luncheon with Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress and singer — and, of course, LGBTQ favorite — Kristin Chenoweth on Wednesday, May 25, at the Renaissance Dallas Addison Hotel, 15201 Dallas Parkway in Addison.
Registration begins at 11 a.m. that day, and the luncheon starts at noon. The biennial luncheon is a celebration of the power, influence and the impact of women.
This year’s event will feature Chenoweth in a chat with WFAA’s Cynthia Izaguirre. The luncheon’s Founding Legacy co-chairs, Ethel Zale and Linda Garner, join 31 honorary chairs representing all past luncheon events in promoting the event, which helps JFS provide comprehensive mental health and social services to anyone in need.
Through its programs, JFS served 39,000 individuals in 2021. “We are thrilled to welcome Kristin Chenoweth and cannot wait to celebrate all that has been made possible by our donors at this event the last two decades,” Jewish Family Service CEO Cathy Barker said in a press release. “It has been four years since we have come together in a ballroom, and we are looking forward to seeing friends get together to make such a difference in our community.” The luncheon, which began 18 years ago as a garden party with 100 attendees, has over the years raised $4.6 million, helping to triple the number of clients the agency has been able to serve.
